Video: John van de Ruit Discusses His Family’s Impact on His Career Choices

Marc Williams, inspired by the television show, Inside the Actors Studio, sat John van de Ruit down for an extensive interview, which he published on his website, Srizzil. Williams commented that Van de Ruit “is very open about his struggles and victories, allowing us some insight into what it takes to make it in South Africa”.

Van de Ruit spoke about how his parents actively encouraged his sense of humour from a young age and said that his family are all interesting characters, which he thinks led him to doing what he does.
